anything on the order of barack obama in 2008. it makes things easier in terms of assemblying a campaign operation. and essentially posting to what looks like a nearly uncontested election. at the same time, many democrats, and many close to her, know that is, in many ways, unorthodox, and not a great idea for not having a battle tested candidate for the general. you don't want all of the things that might come your way to hit you in the general election. you want some of that to be worked out in the primary, at least that is the general theory of why primary opposition is good. and she won't, at this point have much. it certainly doesn't look like she will. >> is there any way that you know they can plan around that? part of the reason that i think people are intrigued is people want elizabeth warren to run to give her someone to run against. democratic issues get flushed out and fights get flushed out. the idea of them talking if not colewding while one will run and one isn't has piqued people's interest in how the clinton campa

the obama campaign has had a plan in place for over a year. they're in the resume portion of the program right now. they're just breaking down mitt romney's resume and you know, this is not over. i was in chicago this week for a few days, and they feel like any day that they're talking about this and about the economy is a great day for them. it's only going to get more intense and it's interesting we are talking about this now. it feels like we're in the fall, not the summer, and it's getting a little nasty. i think the risk comes for both sides with romney, it's what the governor was talking about, it gets at this trust issue and how long can you sustain these attacks. with the president, it gets that is he at a certain point damaging his own brand by being so negative. >> on that note, i feel like the folks who have been really delivering -- who have really been securing bain on this have been surrogates or campaign spokespeople. the president himself has sort of tried to at least remain above the fray. >> the "journal" absolutely disputed

i'm not seeking to martyr president obama here. what i'm seeking to illustrate is that presidents in both parties understood that when we're talking about the sacrifice that america's men and women are paying for our country, that it's not about them personally. it's not about the president. it's not about their personal feelings. it's not about an effort to convince the country somehow they are showing the same kind of bravery those men and women in uniform are showing. we need to honor and pay tribute to their sacrifice. that is what president obama and other presidents have done. and unfortunately president trump seems incapable of doing that. >> coming up on morning joe. >> putin is a strong politician. we know that. he's more experienced than trump. if they were to face off, i wouldn't bet on trump. >> he was once the richest man in russia until he criticized vladimir putin and wound up in prison. brings us that interview next on morning joe. you wouldn't do only half of your daily routine, so why treat your mouth any differen

president obama is facing an enthusiasm gap among young people. in 2008 it was a different story. 63% of 18 to 34-year-olds had high interest in the presidential election. this year, the number is only at 45%. romney needs to convince young people that he is the guy for them, and he's on their side. and republicans know it. indiana mitch daniels told the indianapolis star, have you to campaign to govern not just win. look at everything through the lens of folks that have yet to achieve. romney doesn't talk that way. no kidding, mitch. daniels was asked what he really meant by those words on fox news sunday. >> as things go along i want to encourage him to express these very same principles more often from the standpoint of the young, the poor, those who have yet to start up the ladder of life. it's the very same principles but aimed in a slightly different way, and i know he'll do that. >> today romney took mitch daniels words to heart. he said young voters have no choice but to support him. >> i think young voters in this country have to vote for
